These seem to be all pokemon that are core team members, but that's the main problem.

In order to be a sucessful battler, you need to have one pokemon and build the other 5 pokemon around that. For instance, if I use a Mega Heracross, I'd try to cover its weaknesses with something like Swampert or use a speed staller with Baton Pass to buff Heracross.

This team, however, has only pokemon that work on their own like Gengar and Sceptile. It's too offensive and can get easily taken down by something with good coverage like Landorus or Heatran.
